NHTSA Complaint #10047221 — 2003 TOYOTA 4 RUNNER

I AM EXPERIENCING A REPEATED CHEMICAL SULFUR ODOR IN MY VEHICLE CABIN ON EVEN MODERATE ACCELERATION. THE SMELL IS SIMPLY OVERWHELMING. THE WINDOWS ARE UP, THE SUNROOF IS CLOSED, AND THE AIR CONDITIONER IS SET TO RECIRCULATE. I UNDERSTAND FROM THOUSANDS OF OTHER POSTS ON THE INTERNET THAT TOYOTA CLAIMS THIS IS A GASOLINE ISSUE, BUT I HAVE RECENTLY TRAVELED ACROSS THE COUNTRY FROM MIAMI TO SEATTLE, AND HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM THROUGHOUT THE TRIP. I PERSONALLY WOULD NOT CARE ABOUT THE EXHAUST SMELL IF IT WAS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, BUT WITH ALL THE WINDOWS UP, WITH THE SUNROOF CLOSED, AND WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON RECIRCULATE, IT SCARES ME THAT SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF EXHAUST FUMES ARE ENTERING THE CABIN OF MY VEHICLE ON A REGULAR BASIS. ONLY THE SULFUR SMELL ON MODERATE ACCELERATION IS CLUE TO A LARGER PROBLEM. I FEAR THAT SOMETHING IS VERY, VERY WRONG WITH THIS TOYOTA PRODUCT. I REQUEST THAT THE NHTSA BEGIN INVESTIGATING THIS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE DIES INSIDE THEIR TOYOTA 4RUNNER. *LA
